PAULA FRESCHI KAMENA <br />11 Sagebrush Court <br />San Rafael, CA 94901 <br />TEL: (415) 460-6365 <br />FAX: (415) 460-6367 <br />September 3. 2000 (IM MANJAGEH <br />Mr. Luke Sims SEP - 5 2000 <br />Development Services <br />Civic Center - 835 E. 14th Street CITY OF SAM I_FANDIR0 <br />San Leandro, CA 94577 <br />RE: APN 413-0003-001-03/ 15555 Hesperian Blvd., San Leandro <br />Dear Mr. Sims, <br />Thank you for taking the time to speak with me regarding the notice I received about <br />the public hearing on September 18, 2000. As I understand it, the hearing will be to <br />consider inclusion of a portion of the Target/Baker's Square property in the eminent <br />domain power of the San Leandro Redevelopment Agency. The property in question is <br />owned in equal shares by the Brunetti Trust, and my family. L. Shelly Eisaman is the <br />asset manager for Wells Fargo Trust Real Estate who handles the Brunetti interest. I am <br />writing on behalf of my family and Shelly Eisaman for the Brunetti Trust. <br />From our conversation, I understand that the City is interested in maintaining a <br />commercially feasible business on the corner of Lewelling and Hesperian, and is concerned <br />that this might not occur without the City's assistance. Apparently, the concern was <br />generated by the closure of the Tosco -owned gas station, and the potential for closure of <br />the Kragen Auto store because of the opening of its companion store across the street. <br />We want to assure you that we fully intend to do everything in our power to see that <br />the corner of this very attractive property remains occupied by a business that will be <br />mutually beneficial. The gas station and the auto parts store are the sub -tenants of <br />Target. We are working with Target on the issue of this area now. <br />We are pleased that we have the same goals for this property, but vehemently object to <br />the use of eminent domain capability to achieve these goals. We are happy to work <br />with you, but without the potential for eminent domain. <br />Based on our conversation, I understand that upon receiving this letter, our objection <br />will be noted, and the official recommendation will be to remove this parcel from the <br />amendment to the Redevelopment plan. We thank you very much for understanding <br />our concerns. I look forward to meeting you on September 18th. <br />Sincerely, <br />Paula Freschi Kamena <br />
